Threshold III

Threshold. 

These are photos of Threshold from a few years ago (it's been lurking for a good while). I did lots of drawings of doorways and rubbings of gates but I always wanted to get past the representational and symbolic constraints, purify it somehow. 

I came back to it by photographing signs on gates denoting thresholds and boundaries but this fuelled my frustration. It occurred to me that this precipice or sublime sense of threshold, being on the verge of an idea, is what I want to investigate but how? 

Threshold II

( Tentative research for my thresholds project). These stakes mean trouble. The shrinking of green space here in Totnes. Or the encroaching of developed land.  Either way we
won't roam free in this field for much 
longer. The dog doesn't understand such subtle signifiers of 'threshold'.
